It's no secret that country artist Thomas Rhett and his wife Lauren are one of the cutest couples out there.
If you're not sure, just look at his Instagram.
They're obviously super cute and have an adorable family together. They're the ultimate #couplegoals.
With so many people looking for their own Thomas Rhett now, there seem to be "guidelines" set up on how to get a guy just like him.
Maybe you don't have one because you need to be a good girlfriend. Maybe you can't have one because you haven't found God.
Truthfully, no one should be telling you what you need to do to have a guy like Thomas Rhett.
When a girl says she wants "her Thomas Rhett," are we assuming she literally wants Thomas Rhett himself – which is understandable – or a guy who loves and cherishes as much as he does?
Girls should never feel like they need to be like another woman. Lauren Akins is her own woman. She is gorgeous and powerful, just like every other girl on this earth. She is passionate about and caring for her husband and family in her own way.
As long as a woman is able to show her love in her own way, she is fine. There's no need to compare someone's love to another's.
With that, a girl should never be told she can't have a loving relationship if she doesn't have one with God, because, newsflash, not every woman is a Christian. Not every woman has religious ties.
So many people base relationships and their strengths off of connections to a higher power. If that's something you believe in, it's perfectly fine, but others should not be expected to follow along if it's not who they are.
Women should not feel like they can't find a loving man if they're not cool with the big man upstairs.
Already, girls are expected to change themselves to have a perfect relationship, when, truthfully, it's on both parties.
If you are respectful, loving, and compassionate, you will find your own "Thomas Rhett." It is not on you to "be a better girlfriend" when you're the best you can be. I
t is not your responsibility to strengthen or create a relationship with God so you can have romance. It is your willingness to wait for and ultimately care for the man who will show you kindness and endearment the same way Thomas shows Lauren. It is two people who will bond in a way that is their own and fit together in a way no one else can.
It is love.
Never let your love fit a mold.
